Neighbours have had their say on the Cherry Hinton siege - which has now been going on for more than 24 hours.

Family and friends said have been waiting behind the cordon all night after attempts to talk to the man who is believed to have barricaded himself into his flat.

Police dog and incident response units attended the incident which began at 11.33am yesterday (November 11).

Long-standing resident Ken Saunders, who has lived around the corner from Cherry Hinton library with his wife Anna for 41 years, said he had "never seen anything like" the police presence at the scene of the Cherry Hinton siege before.
